C++ :: Dynamic Array Of Pointers Declaration?
Jan 30, 2013
I am attempting to declare an array of pointers dynamically based on user input. I am not sure if A) I'm implementing the syntax of declaring a dynamic array correcntly and B) if my code is set up correctly to print otherwise.
int array_size;
cout << "Please enter the size of the array: " << endl;
cin >> array_size;
if(array_size >= 8) {
cout << "Invalid array size, please enter a valid integer size";
cin >> array_size;
[Code] .....

I have a little problem with one of my functions. The function purpose is to get a number (n) and create an array (size n) with pointers to strings (each string length is 20 chars) and i don't know why but during the debugging i get a <bad ptr> message and this message :
CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated
This is my function:
Code:
char** getlist(int n) {
int i=0;
char **arr;
arr=(char**)malloc(sizeof(char)*n);
if (arr==NULL)

I know that the synatx for a dynamic array of values is, for example:
int* a = new int[size];
And i understand that "a" is a pointer to the 1st element of the array on the heap.
Now, the syntax for a dynamic array of pointers is:
int** b = new int*[size];

Suppose I wished to reallocate memory (resize) an array of pointers. Why does the following not work?(The program runs, yet yields a faulty segmentation error message. Why?):
Code: char **ptrarr = (char**) malloc(sizeof(char*))
Code: ptrarr = (char**) realloc(ptrarr, (capacity) * sizeof(char*));

I started to practice some C++. I use to program in C and a little C++. Anyway, I am writing code that creates a dynamic array. I would like to be able to do something like
galaxyobject[object] -> uniqueid = in the class but I do not think I have it setup right.
Question.
1. Is the code correct?
2. Why can't I use the above line without a compile error or segment fault?
int main() {
cout << "ProteusCore Server" << endl;
// create a galaxy system with a certain amount of objects
galaxy galaxysystem;
galaxysystem.IntializeGalaxy(100);
[Code] ....
I made the code available to see on sourceforge as Proteus 3d Game Engine. It is something I would like to work on.

I am having troubles with dynamic arrays and pointers. All the errors are of that kind. I think when I am assigning malloc to an array we assign to its address.
Code:
/*Create an array of genes of the large matrix*/
gene_t gene,gene1,gene2;
gene=malloc(INITIAL*sizeof(gene2)); Code:
while(...) {
if (gene_num==current_size){

The snippet below (or similar) compiles and runs OK but I am using Visual Studio C++ compiler. Are the lines where .nameFirst and .nameLast assigned kosher in ANSI C?
Also I am concerned about the memory allocation for these string constants. Does the runtime system put them on the heap? It doesn't seem that they are really constants since they are not defined before runtime.
Code:
#include "stdlib.h"
typedef struct
{
unsigned id;
char* nameFirst;
char* nameLast;
} myList;

I'm trying to write a function that takes a 32bit address and a data to store at this address.
I'm wanting to take the 32 bit memory address eg 0x12345678 and split it
into 4 x 2 bytes
12, 34, 56, 78
then each of the 4 entries is at most a 256 entry array.eg
FF, FF, FF, FF
So in this example, 0x12 points to 0x34 in the second array, which points to 0x56 in the third array, which finally points to 0x78 in the last array. This last array holds the actual data.
After successfully doing 0x12345678, say I might get a read for 0x1234AABB. So, the first and second pointers already exist, but I then have to create and write to dynamically created arrays.
The arrays need to have all entries set to NULL so that i know whether to follow the pointers to overwrite a previously entered value or create new arrays and pointers.
It all looks good and simple in the pseudo code I've written up but I'm having trouble coding it. I'm currently trying to deal with the first entry case, ie all array elements are NULL, but I'm getting confused with the pointers and creation of new arrays.
void cpu::store(unsigned int mem_add,unsigned int mem_val) {
int first = (mem_address&4278190080)>>24;
int second = (mem_address&16711680)>>16;
int third = (mem_address&65280)>>8;
int fourth= (mem_address&255);
[Code] .....
A1 has been declared as
int* A1[256] ;

we are currently covering double pointers and memory allocation. Currently getScrabbleWords is not working. when I compile with commented code (Main() works fine) I get a segmentation fault.
This is the purpose of getScrabbleWords:
char **getScrabbleWords(char **allWords, char letters[]):
This function takes an array of char* values (i.e. strings) representing all the words read from wordlist.txt. Each of these words is tested by callingcanWeMakeIt as a helper function, and pointers to the words that can be made are put into an array, myWords. Note, copies of the words are not made! In order to indicate the end of myWords, we terminate with a NULL pointer. Thus, if N words can be made from letters then myWords should have length N+1.

I have the following code here. My questions are:
1. Pointers can be used as pass by reference. When I dynamically allocated memory for array[50] in the run function, does that mean I am changing the size of the pArray in main as well? Or does the scope of array[50] ends with the function run? if so, should I do a delete [] Array inside the run function?
2. When I do delete[] pArray in main, what does it delete? memory for array[50]? or array[100]?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void run(int* Array, int& s) {
s = 50;
Array = new int[s];

I'm trying to create an array of pointers to pointers which will point to array of pointers (to strings) I tried
Code:
int i;
char *string[]={
"my name is dave",
"we like to dance together",
"sunny day",
"hello",
[code]...
the app keeps crashing , I don't know how to make the array-elements to point to another array-elements..

I need to use dynamic memory allocation and use pointers to iterate through the arrays that I have already in this program. I am lost, nothing I do works and where to use the pointers. I am just looking for a push in the right direction so I can finish this project and how I can implement pointers in my program.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;

I'm writing a program in which I have to use a matrix to represent a file in code. because it's a file, the size of the matrix is undefined, and therefore the matrix has to be dynamic. I found out that my compiler doesn't like dynamic multidimensional arrays, so I was thinking of this matrix as a dynamic (monodimensional) array of other dynamic (monodimensional) arrays. My program (and thus this example) uses unsigned chars.
unsigned char variable=something;
unsigned char**matrix=new unsigned char*[lenghtOfMainArray];
for(int rowNumber=0;rowNumber<lenghtOfArray;rowNumber++)
{

I would like to know the difference between the following two forms of array declaration:
(1)double myArray[3] = {1.0, 2.0, 3.0};
(2)array<double,3> myArray = {1.0, 2.0, 3.0};
If I say the second one allows to use different functions like .begin(), am I right? Is there any other difference between these two declaration?

I want to understand the ways in which arrays can be declared and used. What each of the following do or what's the difference between them and what would be the length of each:-
1 - char ary1[50];
2 - char ary2[50] = {'H','e','l','l','o'};
3 - char ary3[50] = {'H','e','l','l','o',' '};
4 - char ary4[50] = {' '};
5 - char ary5[50] = {' ','H','e','l','l','o'};
6 - char ary6[50] = {' ','H','e','l','l','o',' '};

I have a little program that does some statistical processing on text files. The program has thrown a segmentation fault with an input file that is larger that I have used before. I didn't write this tool, so I went searching for the problem. Data from the input file is dumped into a 2D array and the program fails at the declaration of that array.
Code : double A[cont][Nr_col_split];
The vales for cont and Nr_col_split and determined from the input file and in this case, cont=807 and Nr_col_split=350. I assume that these values are just too large and not enough memory can be allocated, or something like that. Do I need to use reserve or similar to set aside enough memory? I will have input files that are quite a bit bigger than this one, so perhaps there needs to be a different solution for storing the input file data.

I was going through a code where i found the definition of int array[63] in one of the source files. But i also found the declaration as extern int array[66] in another source file. This is clearly wrong, but my doubt is how the compiler compiled it. It should have thrown error. In case if it compiles then what will be the behavior of the system? Will it be normal or some undefined behavior?

I have some files:
file1: 1000x500 array of numbers
file2: 2000x600
file3: 300x5000
...
I would like to automatically declare array variables of myarray1, myarray2, myarray3... that reads the numbers from files:
Code:
for (i1=0; i1<nrows; i1++)
{
for (i2=0; i2<ncolumns; i2++)
{
fscanf(filename, "%lf", &y);
myarrayX[i1][i2]=y;
}
}
nrows and ncolumns can be passed from a config file. Also I can cat all files into a single filename. However, the difficult part is:
How to declare different myarrayX automatically ? (A workaround is to declare a huge 3d array but I do not want to do this).

I'm having trouble declaring and initializing a two-dimensional array using the C++11 standard conventions. I would like to know how to do it in C++11 style as know how to use the old style.
the exception im getting is:
c++11_array_exp.cpp:37:3: error: too many initializers for ‘std::array<std::array<std::basic_string<char>, 6ul>, 22ul>’

i am using c language to program PIC micro controllers, i am making a multi compilation unit project in order to organize my code better.
I want to create an array of functions and be able to call it from anyplace in the code
what i have done so far gplib.c
Code:
typedef void (*out)(int8);
void OUT_A(int8 weight){output_A(weight);}
void OUT_B(int8 weight){output_B(weight);}
void OUT_C(int8 weight){output_C(weight);}
void OUT_D(int8 weight){output_D(weight);}
void OUT_E(int8 weight){output_E(weight);}
out output_port[5+1] = {OUT_A, OUT_B, OUT_C, OUT_D, OUT_E};
how to declare them in gplib.h and how to call them anywhere in the code.

Here's my program: - Program which inputs a string from user, reverses it and displays it.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void string_reverse (char [], const int);
int main() {
const int arraysize = 10;
char string[arraysize];
[Code] ....
In the string_reverse function, I have declared temp character type array but on line 38, the
compiler is throwing 3 errors: -
error C2057: expected constant expression
error C2466: cannot allocate an array of constant size 0
error C2133: 'temp' : unknown size
I have declared a constant integer arraysize in line 35. Now I have no clue why is this happening because I think as I have declared it as a constant integer variable, this should not happen.

But it can the other way around
Code:
static_Array= dynamic_Array;
dynamic_Array = static_Array;
The second statement works and i'm able to print out both arrays with equal values but with the first
[code] static_Array = dynamic_Array;I get incompatible types in assignment of 'int*' to 'int [7]' is the error I get [/code]

I'm trying extremely hard to understand pointers and I have the basic concept down.. I feel as though my knowledge of dynamically allocated pointers and pointers in general is not enough to understand the logic behind what I'm trying to do. The problem is that the donations array must be able to accept any number of donations. I've made it do just that, but there is also an array of pointers which must each point to the same element in the donations array. The program works if I assign int *arrPtr[100] for example, but it does not work if I try to dynamically allocate it to accept the same number of elements for donations entered by the user. Here it's the snippet
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//Function Prototypes

Code:
Int** d = malloc( ROWS * sizeof(int*));
for (i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
d[i] = malloc(COLS * sizeof(int));
fx(d);
My question is, in a function declaration, why do I not have to specify the number of columns. How is this different than when I pass a static 2D array to a function, in which I must declare the function parameter with the number of columns.
Code: void fx(int d[][COLS]);
VS.
Code: void fx(int **d);

I remember in C++, when a dynamic array is allocated, the size of this array is stored right before the array in memory. Therefore compiler knows exactly how long, when this array is deleted.
Do all compilers store the size this way? Is it a safe method to get the size of a dynamic array?
Here is a example code, it works fine on Visual Studio 2012.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class dummy {
public:
dummy() {
cout<<"dummy created"<<endl;
